you HAVE a campus radio show. That is almost Indie cred. I see the term "Indie cred" as a joke, really. Humor me.

I just wanted to tell folks about those two bands, and have a place where the people who I think are the music hipsters of Interland (yes, I did just say that...but now that we have TWO kentucky suburbanites amongst us, we have to use terms like that) can post about cool bands I may not have heard of...but should. Not a single unfriend in this thread!

humus

does that have two m's or one?

*humors zoney because she can't figure out how to spell "humuses zoney*

 

[jkayet]

but now that we have TWO kentucky suburbanites amongst us

You had to remind of me that, didn't you?
*begins twitching...

No offense EP, born and raised here. I'm also glad to know there's at least one other person with good music taste somewhere in the surrounding counties.

On that note, holiday back to England in a little over two weeks!

no worries, and KY is not all bad, Louisville has a decent indie scene, and Cincys is improving. But I sometimes like being a big fish in a small pond here in Northern KY.....

[JessicaAnn]

Richmond area, no?

Yes ... Richmond.

I saw them over the summer at Milwaukee Irish Fest and again last weekend at a little local place called Shank Hall (yes ... that's the real name and yes the name is a deliberate Spinal Tap reference).

The show was great. Got to meet them. They're all very nice.

(two thumbs up)

 

[DiGi]

from around DC, right?

I thought so as well. Well, guess we were wrong on that account. They are pretty popular here though

The Wrens! Their masterful album "Secaucus" is almost impossible to find online, so ebay or the local record store is probably your best bet. But it's so awesome!

p.s. they just came out with a new CD, "The Meadowlands", which received a godly score from that we're-so-indie-it-hurts publication pitchfork.

Secaucus and Meadowlands, eh?

Next album just may be called Teterboro! Any wagers?

Don't we ALL wish we lived in Europe?

I joke with you guys...but I also look up to my two Kentucky Suburbanites!

I heard Lexington actually has a decent/growing scene too.

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

the decline of british sea power.

The only tr00 inide bands I can think of are:
Ten Year Drought
The National
Unwound (older band, might not be around anymore)

 

[JessicaAnn]

I am also going to throw out the name Kevin Sucher. A local singer/songwriter. I heard him for the first time on Friday night.

Heard them over the weekend!

Where are they from?

I am kicking myself. I heard another good band this weekend, but I can't remember their name.

weakerthans

 

[IWasBored]

maybe i should listen to them, that would force me to call them by their right name...

very strange.

I have suffered through forms of "band name dyslexia" too!

I like their song "One Great City!"

Late afternoon, another day is nearly done. A darker gray is breaking through a lighter one. A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground. That hollow hurried sound of feet on polished floor, and in the Dollar Store the clerk is closing up, and counting Loonies, trying not to say, "I hate Winnipeg." The driver checks the mirror, seven minutes late. The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates that the Guess Who suck, the Jets were lousy anyway. The same route every day. And in the turning lane, someone's stalled again. He's talking to himself, and hears the price of gas repeat his phrase: "I hate Winnipeg." And up above us all, leaning into sky, our Golden Business Boy will watch the North End die, and sing "I love this town," then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim, "I hate Winnipeg."

Where's Deathbear when you need him.

[IWasBored]

[Elvis]
